Brainscape: an app to review everything

An online and mobile application

Brainscape

Review sheets are an interesting way to study. They can be used to refresh the memory and can also become a game for retaining elements from primary school to the final years of university. However, they often have to be created, and some learners don't have the time or inclination to indulge in them. So some people see it as an opportunity to design and review their own.

Something for everyone

Brainscape is one of the most popular and widely used revision card solutions. Whether on the website or the mobile app, all students (or teachers) can easily create or select cards on hundreds of different subjects. Whether it's the basics of a language or the intricacies of zoology, all areas of study are present on the site. Admittedly, the vast majority of the cards are in English, but all you have to do is use the search bar and enter words in French to find cards aimed at French speakers.

The application works on the principle of interval learning. During an initial review, the user will rate each card according to how easy it was to find (or not) the answer. Thus, the easy cards will only come back once in a while, while the more complex ones will be displayed more often until the student feels he has mastered it better. Since most of the cards are made by the community, some may be of lesser quality, but most are interesting and well described. A stimulating application that covers an impressive variety of subjects from the simplest to the most complicated.
